Comprehensive Kitchen Plumbing in Lake Villa, IL
Whether you’re swapping out a faucet and hooking up a new disposal in a few hours or managing a full kitchen rough-in that includes moving sinks, adding gas lines, or installing pot fillers, we’ve got you covered. The size of the project guides costs, timeline, and permit needs. We tackle all levels of kitchen plumbing with confidence.
One key pointer: get us involved early, before cabinets arrive. Moving the sink means rerouting drains and supply lines when floors and walls are accessible. Installing a gas line to a new range or island needs to happen prior to cabinets going in. Pot filler faucet setups require opening the wall behind the stove—much easier before tile and backsplash are installed. Scheduling your plumber at the right stage keeps your remodel on track and avoids expensive delays.
If you just need a service call for faucet replacements, garbage disposal repairs, dishwasher hookups, or refrigerator water lines outside of a remodel, we handle those too. Remodeling your kitchen is also a great chance to check your water heater capacity or take care of slow drain problems before closing up cabinets. Just give us a call at 224-537-0320.
Our Kitchen Plumbing Services
Kitchen Sink & Faucet Setup
We install every type of kitchen sink: undermount (working closely with countertop fabricators), drop-in, farmhouse style, single or double bowl, and prep sinks. Sink installations include drain assemblies, strainers, P-traps, and connecting hot and cold water supply lines with durable braided stainless steel tubing rather than brittle plastic. We install garbage disposals alongside sink setups when requested.
For faucets, we handle all mounting styles and configurations—single-hole, three-hole, deck-mounted—and pressure test connections before finishing. Need to move your sink? We reroute drains, vents, and water lines with permits and inspections as required.
Dishwasher & Appliance Water Connections
Hooking up your dishwasher includes connecting hot water supply, running drain hoses with correct high loops or air gaps to prevent backflow, and confirming electrical readiness (we coordinate with your electrician). For refrigerator ice makers and water dispensers, we run dedicated cold water lines with proper support and accessible shutoff valves.
We also install instant hot water taps, under-sink water filtration units, and reverse osmosis systems, handling faucet drilling, supply and waste connections, plus advising on filter maintenance. Call 224-537-0320 for all your kitchen appliance hookup needs.
Gas Lines for Kitchen Appliances
Converting to gas or adding a cooktop? We size and install gas piping to the right appliances, running lines from your gas meter or existing supply, installing shutoff valves, connecting appliances with code-compliant flexible connectors, and pressure testing the system. We also manage permits and inspections for your peace of mind. Check our gas line services page for detailed info on our safety standards.
Important: do this before your cabinets get installed. Once cabinetry is in place, adding or modifying gas lines is much tougher and more disruptive. Coordinate your schedule with your general contractor and us early on.
Pot Filler Faucet Setup
A pot filler mounted above your range saves hauling heavy pots filled with water across the kitchen. Installation involves running a cold water supply line inside the wall, typically 56 to 60 inches above the floor and offset slightly from the stove center. It’s easiest during a remodel when walls are open, but we can also retrofit pot fillers in finished kitchens with minimal wall repair. Give us a call to plan your pot filler install.
Island Sink Drain & Vent Solutions
Island sinks pose unique plumbing challenges since they can’t connect to a wall vent stack in the usual way. They require an island loop vent or an air admittance valve (AAV) to keep drains flowing properly, depending on local codes. Supplying hot and cold water is straightforward, but routing drains and vents under the floor and back up through the island cabinets is a job for experienced plumbers. We’ve done plenty of island sink projects here in Lake Villa, so call us early to discuss your island plumbing plans.

Timing Tips for Kitchen Plumbing
- Confirm sink location before demolition: Sink moves are the priciest plumbing changes, so lock down placement early
- Complete gas line installation before cabinets: Running lines to islands or new stove spots must happen before cabinetry is installed
- Install pot fillers before backsplashes: Wall access is much easier before tile is put up
- Upgrade shutoff valves while plumbing is exposed: Replace old gate valves with modern ball valves during remodels to avoid future leaks
- Run refrigerator water lines before counters: Easier to install before countertops go in
Kitchen Remodeling FAQ
Yes, but it’s a more complicated job because island sinks need special venting like an island loop vent or an air admittance valve. Running supply lines is pretty straightforward, but the drain and vent lines have to be routed carefully through the floor. We’ve done many island sink installations here in Lake Villa—call us to talk through your layout before signing off on plans.
If you’re just replacing fixtures in the same spot—like a faucet or disposal—usually no permit is needed. But anytime you reroute drains, run new supply lines, or work on gas lines, permits and inspections are required. We handle all permitting and inspections so you don’t have to worry.
Absolutely. It’s best to have the gas rough-in done while walls are open during your remodel. We install gas lines for ranges, cooktops, and ovens, sizing and testing everything to code. Make sure to schedule the gas rough-in before cabinets go in to avoid costly rework.
